Born May 6, 1929 in Victoria, B.C.
Died July 20, 2009 in Victoria, B.C.
Phyllis will be sadly missed by her sons and daughters-in-law, Brad and Elicce, Kent and Anne, and West. She was the proud and much loved Nanna of Toby (Corene), Brent (Lindsay) and Andrew Mundy. She was pre-deceased by her parents, Millicent and William Frampton, her Auntie Dolly, and her husband, John. She is survived by her brother Mark Frampton (Gail) and nieces Kathy and Arlene and nephew Mark. She will also be missed by her dear friends Dorothy Brahan, Pat Williamson and Pascal Billet and her many other friends and relatives. We would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of 7C at Vic General for their loving and caring treatment of our mother.
Phyllis worked for many years as an administrative assistant and secretary, in various positions in the Ministry of Education. She loved taking school children on tours of the museum where she volunteered after retiring. She was an avid theatre goer and cherished her afternoon walks along Dallas Road. The people who knew her spoke fondly of “Mrs. Mundy”. Phyllis enjoyed people and enjoyed life.
A Celebration of Phyllis’ life will be held on Sunday, August 2 at 2:00 in McCall Bros. Floral Chapel, Johnson and Vancouver Sts. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the mental health charity of your choice.

Pam Leigh-Spencer Dear Brad, Kent,West and families. I am sorry that I was not able to make it to Auntie Flip’s service. I have great memories of visiting all of you in Victoria and spending time with your family. Your Mom was always welcoming, which says alot adding two extra teenagers into the mix. We have always caught up on news at Christmas and last summer enjoyed an evening together with West and Andrew at the Disfunctional McLean family reunion. Your Mom was very proud of her boys and I hope your happy memories will carry you through this time. Love Pam

Phyllis was always interested in and supportive of Andrew, my son, as she watched him grow up. She shared with my family a love of the tree in from of the Savoy and sought to save it. We had many chats about our families, health,etc. She was an elegant and kind lady. Condolences to all of the family. Ellen Picard

Erylene and Jim Underwood Brad, Kent and West
Jim and I wish to express our deepest sympathy to Flip’s immediate family and the many friends that she had acquired during her lifetime which has been much too short.
We first met when we both lived in Belmont Park. We were new to Victoria and Flip introduced us to her many friends. It made our 13 year stay in Victoria very pleasant. She was always so kind to both Jim & I and also to my mother who was blind. Her’s was a friendship that we always valued. Her death will leave you with great sadness as it does to all us who knew her. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to you all.

Pauline Rafferty On behalf of the staff of the Royal BC Musuem let me offer our condolences. Phyllis will be very much missed by us. She was an active and important volunteer for the past 15 years in both the gallery and school programs and on the information desk. She had such a kind manner and gentle smile.
I hope that with time the sadness of her death will pass and you will be left with only happy memories.
Best wishes
Pauline

Jan (and Joe) MacRae Phyllis and I met when working together in 1981. An intrepid group of six work buddies soon formed with Phyllis as our honorary “Auntie”. Although our personal and work lives took various paths, the group has continued to meet twice a year ever since. Phyllis said she always looked forward to the different restaurants her “young friends” would come up with. Our bi-annual outings (yes, a tad raucous on occasion) have been a time to share joys and sorrows, photos and stories of children and grandchildren, with many laughs and some lamentations. I admired Phyllis’ kindness, her strength in dealing with life’s twists and turns, and her great sense of humour. When I reminded her recently that her “young friends” are now 58 to 65 years old, she said “No! How can that be?” Then she laughed and remembered that we’d all been “horrified” when she turned sixty. Auntie will be missed and fondly remembered. My condolences to her family and dear friends.

Jack Elliott and Pat Hapgood It is so hard to say goodbye even though Phyllis had been so sick. At least it’s a consolation to know she isn’t suffering any more. Take care of yourselves at this difficult time. We enjoyed our friendship with Phyllis during the time we lived in the Savoy and will miss her cheery greetings. I’m sorry we can’t attend the service but we will be out of town. Sincerely, Pat and Jack

Cheryl Moore/d'Estrube I was very sad to read of your mom’s passing. We met often in town and had a chat. I think it was only month ago or so that we chatted and always she asked after Brenda. She really had a lot to do with my early understanding and appreciation of what friendship means.
All of you were so good to us in those early days in Belmont and I often recall the wonderful beach days that we all had. It was a lovely life that both your Mom and my Mom gave us.
I always had tremendous respect for your Mom, she was one of the only people that could handle both my Mom and Brenda and I really looked up to her.
Also she shared her family with us which to me is the biggest gift, all of you and your Grandmother and Uncle both were wonderful.
She really gave a lot in her time and there are so many others that were lucky enough to have enjoyed her friendship.
I know that she will be talking with my parents and laughing over all the misadventures that befell in those early years.
It would be good toconnect with you again, and at present I am not sure if I can attend on Sunday, but I am thinking of you all and big hugs to each of you, so many fond memories of all of you,
Love Cheryl

Kim Springer I worked with Phyllis at the Ministry of Education in the 80’s. I was very fond of Phyllis and used to call her “Aunty Phyllis”.. I then saw her for many years at the Museum where she worked as a volunteer. Phyllis was truly a loving, warm hearted, giving person. My deepest sympathies to all of her family.
Her memory is your keepsake with witch you will never part.
God has her in His keeping and you will have her in your hearts.Kim Springer

Herb Frampton As the many years roll by, we lose our loved ones, family and friends. Condolences to family, as once again the time has come, another loved one has left us. I do my best to remember the good, with Phyllis passing, there is only good. She set the bar for us to follow. Thank you for showing us such high standards of how life should be lived, and how we should treat others as we wish to be treated. There is no doubt she will be missed, also there is no doubt that we will remember and appreciate the life that was shared. “Thank you” Phyllis.

Jacquie Churchill Brad, Kent, West and Families
Your mother was very dear to us, the extended Frampton family.Phylis “Flip” loved the Frampton family picnics and special gatherings. She will be missed by us all, cousins, 2nd and 3rd cousins, young and old. My mother Shirley loved her dearly from their shared childhood to senior years, and I know they are reunited again.
God Bless all of you. Cousin Jacquie and Family
I just came across a Christmas card from my old friend and client, Phyllis. She and I enjoyed many good laughs together when she would visit me at Coast Capital Savings Credit Union on Douglas Street. I lost contact with Phyllis after I moved to Mexico. The envelope was dated 2002 and Phyllis had included a picture of her and Andrew.
Although my condolences are late, they are sincerely sent. Phyllis was an energetic and kind lady, whom it was my privilege to know.
Sincerely, Margaret Blocka (formerly L’Ecuyer)
